How MoreFrom.org can help Schools, Charities and Clubs

MoreFrom.me has launched MoreFrom.org, a service especially for charities, schools and clubs. Here’s how it can help them raise money to buy new equipment, and also boost their profile.

A gadget and technology lover like myself was always going to be attracted to something like MoreFrom.me, but there are a whole host of other people and organisations that can benefit from it.

Their new .org service for schools, colleges, charities and clubs can help them purchase new technology equipment through the commission they make on their very own MoreFrom.org stores.In education, it’s very important for schools and colleges to keep their equipment up to date by purchasing quality, value for money goods that can help students and staff.

By creating their own Morefrom.me stores, schools are put in charge of raising much needed funds for brand new IT equipment, efforts that promise to go much further than more traditional 'supermarket vouchers for schools' schemes.

With MoreFrom.org, schools and colleges can upload their own branding, logos, and descriptions on their own about us page. They will receive credit for everything they sell, something that will encourage parents to buy from their store rather than elsewhere, knowing their purchase will help their child’s education.

For charities, getting involved with MoreFrom.org is a great way of raising funds to buy brand new goods. But there are other benefits for a charity to have its own store.

With MoreFrom.Me continuing to grow, a personalised store is also a great platform to reach out and promote your charity, raising awareness of the good work you put in to aid your cause.

MoreFrom.org is beneficial for clubs too, especially if they are regular users of technology products.Now, I’ve mentioned photographers before, but I must say this service would be great for snap-happy camera clubs. By recommending products they have tried and tested out, they can be seen as experts in their field. Let’s face it, people are going to buy from people who know what they are talking about.

This not only means customers will return to you in future, but with the credit you’ve earned from the sales you’ve made, it’s easier for you to purchase the latest models, try them out first, and then tell your loyal shoppers whether you would recommend the products.

All in all, I think this is another example of how MoreFrom.me is moving quickly to provide something that can work on different levels. They tell me there’s even more plans in the pipeline.
